The capital of Nanyan Empire, Amber City, late at night.
In a side hall, a beautiful woman sat in front of a jade table, flipping through the briefing letters one by one. Sometimes she nodded, sometimes she frowned. There was a look of fatigue between her eyebrows that was hard to conceal.
The crown prince of the Nanyan Empire and the eldest princess of the empire, Yan Queluo.
The emperor Yan Ang is seriously ill in bed and is hanging there almost by his breath. Now all the affairs of the empire are handled by Yan Queluo. In two months, Yan Queluo will ascend the throne.
Although Yanqueluo is nearly forty years old, she looks less than thirty from the outside. Her beautiful face carries a heroic spirit that is incomparable to any man. To outsiders, Yanqueluo seems to have never known what it means.
Difficulties can always be faced calmly. But everyone also knows what kind of heavy pressure Yanqueluo is carrying.
Different from the strong imperial power of the Beishang Empire, since Yan Ang became seriously ill more than ten years ago, the prestige of the royal family has been declining day by day. Although the existence of the Elders' House has made no one in the major families dare to be disobedient. However, the decline of the imperial power has
Is the truth.
The Francis family is so powerful in the Beishang Empire, and their actions depend on the emperor's face. To mobilize gold-level experts, they must report to the military department. But in the Nanyan Empire, the major families and important officials in the court, in addition to following basic political orders,
Outside, there are frequent private fights between you and me. Whether it is military affairs or internal affairs, almost most of them are in the hands of the big family.
What Yanqueluo has to do is to take back the dispersed power one by one and restore the imperial power. Otherwise, the royal family will decline day by day. As time goes by, I am afraid that the Elders House may not be able to suppress those careerists. After all, the Elders House is for the empire.
Serving is not for the royal family. If something cannot be done, it is not impossible to change to another royal family.
"Damn it, it's the Mu family again!" After reading a few notifications, Yan Queluo slammed the table.
In Hongruo City, the entire Huo clan was wiped out. Qing Moji and four other gold-level warriors from the Mu family went to Hongruo City to secretly meet with Donggu Zhou, the head of the Donggu family.
No matter how the royal family declines, there are still basic intelligence channels. Although many incidents cannot be investigated in depth due to various reasons, these things on the surface are enough for Yanqueluo to make a judgment.
"The Mu family will do whatever it takes to win over Hong Wu." Yanqueluo's beautiful eyes flashed, and she sighed: "If Hong Wu really falls to the Mu family, it will be even harder to contain Mu Ying.
It seems that we need to talk to the Ye family, they don’t want the Mu family to extend their hands to the military."
Yanqueluo rubbed her temples, then took out the new bulletin and read it.
After reading a few copies, Yanqueluo let out a light sigh.
"The Donggu family was also destroyed? Could it be that the Ye family did it? It's strange, it doesn't seem like their style."
After flipping through a few more copies and seeing the names on one of the notices, Yanqueluo paused her hands and said with a wry smile: "What happened today? Weird things happened one after another. Hongwu actually wrote me a notice."
Yanqueluo picked up Hongwu's notice and read it carefully. After reading a few lines, she stood up with excitement, her eyes filled with strange colors.
Are you still here? In that case, you are really his son.
This was not the first time she had seen information about Ye Ze. Especially during the time when Ye Feng was captured, the information about Ye Ze was extremely dense.
Wait, as long as it is exposed, Yanqueluo knows everything.
The last time I saw him, he was still at the silver level. I didn't expect that now, he was at the gold level.
Yanqueluo looked in one direction.
Twenty years old, gold level, as good as you were back then. It's a pity that he is the child of you and someone else...
Yanqueluo's hand slowly tightened and she balled up the report.
After a while, he slowly let go.
"There should be a lot of people who don't want to see you..." Yanqueluo unfolded the notice, stared at the name on it, and said calmly: "Let's make a bet to see if you can make it to the Imperial Capital alive. If you win,
, I will let you see him."
Yanqueluo raised her head again, looked out the window, and murmured: "It's just that the person who intercepts you may be an unexpected person. Mu family, Ye family... Haha, why do I feel like something interesting is going to happen?"
It’s over.”
…………………………
Mujia.
In front of the head of the family, Muying, stood a man. The man's face was covered, but his pair of black eyes were extremely bright. There was a hint of evil in the depths of his pupils that was not easy to detect.
"Qing Moji and them are all dead?" Mu Ying looked confused.
The man responded: "Their messenger bees have all returned to their nests automatically, so there will be no mistakes."
"Lantong shouldn't have such strength." Mu Ying frowned and said, "Kong Chen's whereabouts are unknown, and Qing Moji and others are dead..."
Muying looked up at the masked man and said slowly, "Could it be that Yeze really did it?"
"It's not surprising that he can destroy the Donggu family, plus Qing Moji and others." The masked man said: "It's just that it's hard to judge whether the disappearance of the eldest young master is related to him."
Mu Ying shook his head and said: "Kong Chen was once the third saint of Daxue Mountain, and his strength is no less than yours. There are few people below the dark gold level who can threaten him."
"Yes." The masked man asked tentatively: "Sir, do we need to send more people?"
"What to do?" Muying looked at the masked man with a half-smile.
The masked man said naturally: "The Ye family is on the same level as us. If someone like Ye Feng appears again, it will definitely have an impact on the adults. Naturally, it is better to get rid of such unstable factors as soon as possible."
"You are wrong." Muying smiled and said: "He is indeed an unstable factor, but he is not ours, but the Ye family's! You have forgotten whose son he is."
The masked man said: "But he is from the Ye family after all."
"Ye Feng is also a member of the Ye family." Mu Ying said quietly: "How glorious was Ye Feng back then?! But who would have thought that he would become the cause of the decline of the Ye family.
The current Ye Ze is very similar to the Ye Feng back then. Whether it is strength or the decisive character, he is almost a replica of Ye Feng. Ye Ze's goal is nothing more than Ye Feng. But what will he do after arriving in the imperial capital?
, no one knows what kind of turmoil it will cause.
Ye Feng was arrested, and the future Queen was imprisoned but not killed. Even now, she has not even seen him. Everyone in the Ye family is on pins and needles. Our queen is naturally putting pressure on the Ye family and wants to seize military power.
The Ye family can barely bear it now, but if Ye Ze is added, it will be hard to say.
What's more, when the Ye Feng rebellion happened, no one except the royal family and the Ye family knew what the truth was. The Ye family finally suppressed the matter, and now Ye Ze suddenly appears. Once the events of that year are revealed, I'm afraid.
In this Amber City, there is no place for the Ye family to stand..."
Muying talked eloquently, then looked at the masked man proudly and asked: "Does what I said make sense?"
The masked man lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I admire you."
Muying stroked his beard and said, "If I were Ye Yu, I would probably not want to see that Ye Ze more than anyone else."
"Sir, if that's the case," the masked man asked, "We're not going to kidnap and kill that Ye Ze?"
"Not only will we not rob or kill him, we will also help him." Mu Ying said: "You arrange manpower to escort him along the way. Our people do not have to take action. However, we must not let that stupid boy be plotted against."
"Your Excellency is wise!" The masked man bowed.
Muying stroked his beard and smiled, and murmured: "Ye Yu, in two months, I want you to disappear completely from the court with the Ye family."
The proud Muying did not notice that a gleam of contempt and ridicule flashed through the eyes of the masked man.
……………………
At the same time, at the Ye Family's mansion in Amber City, a group of senior members of the Ye Family gathered together.
The old head of the family has passed away a long time ago, and now Ye Ze's head is Ye Yu.
The commander-in-chief of Crow Ming, the top figure in the military, the youngest generalissimo in the history of the Nanyan Empire, Ye Feng's younger brother, and Ye Ze's nominal uncle.
Ye Yu stood in the hall, looked around at the clan elders sitting around, and said slowly: "This is the situation. My nephew I have never met is coming back."
A clan elder hummed: "He is Ye Feng's son, but he is not our Ye family."
An elder from another tribe said, "That's right. In short, I won't allow him to enter Ye's house."
The senior members of the family almost unanimously condemned Ye Ze.
Hai Lao, who was standing aside, glanced at Ye Yu and said, "Everyone, it may not be Lao Nu's turn to speak here, but I still have something to say."
A clan elder said: "Haisha, you have worked with three family heads and are more senior than anyone here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hai Lao nodded and thanked, and continued: "You all just thought about preventing Ye Ze from entering the house, but have you ever thought about preventing him from entering the imperial capital? Everyone should understand what impact he will have on the Ye family once he enters the imperial capital.
?”
The hall, which was noisy just now, instantly became quiet with Haisha's words.
Ye Yu's face sank and he shouted: "Old Hai, you talk too much."
"Yes..." Ebi bowed his head and backed away.
"Ye Yu and Hai Sha are right." A clan elder sighed, looked around and said, "Actually, everyone understands, but no one wants to say it."
"Fourth Uncle." Ye Yu looked at the clan elder and said quietly, "No matter what, his surname is Ye after all."
Hai Lao seemed to want to speak, but Ye Yu stopped him with his eyes.
Ye Yu sighed and said to everyone: "I want to think about this matter carefully. Everyone should leave first."
After saying that, Ye Yu left first.
However, Ebi didn't leave and stood still without moving.
The fourth elder, whom Ye Yu calls his fourth uncle, walked to Haisha and sighed: "We all know you have good intentions, and Ye Yu also knows it."
"Old slave understands." Haisha raised his head, looked at the fourth elder, and said: "Old slave also understands that there are many things that the head of the family cannot decide or do. But as a foreigner, I have no scruples."
The fourth elder trembled, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "You have to think clearly about the consequences of doing that."
"For the Ye family, I will do anything." Haisha's eyes were burning.
The fourth elder opened his mouth, but hesitated, patted Haisha's shoulder, sighed and turned around to leave.
As for Haisha, her eyes are getting colder and colder. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
